Relationship, values and money planet Venus meets up with expansive Jupiter on 9 June 2026 at 25 degrees of the Watery sign of emotional Cancer. These are the two planets known as the ‘benefics’ – Venus is the ‘lesser benefic’ and Jupiter is the ‘greater benefic.’ Even better, Jupiter is ‘Exalted’ or ‘raised up’ in Cancer, making this aspect particularly lovely and positive. In fact, it is one of the best transits of the year.

The last time these two planets came together in Cancer was on 12 August 2025 at 14 degrees, now they’re back together for the final time in an emotional culmination before Jupiter moves into Fiery Leo on 30 June 2026.

The sign of Cancer

Cancer is one of the signs (along with Scorpio and Pisces) which is also associated with the Water element concerning feelings and emotions, instinct and sensitivity. Some keywords for Cancer include: caring, nurturing, protective, receptive and tenacious. Cancerians may orient themselves towards their family and fostering emotional ties within their home, where they belong and where they feel safe and secure – since this the “shell” they can return to after a long day out. They may however be moody, touchy, clingy and smothering and feel the sentimental need to hang on to the past and family momentos.

The planet Venus

Venus is associated with love, partnerships, beauty, sensuality, money, values and pleasure. Venus is also associated with love and affection, partnerships, marriages and unions or emotional contracts, art, aesthetics, beauty, appreciation, sensuality, money, our sense of values, and pleasure.

The planet Jupiter

Jupiter represents faith, trust, opportunity, abundance, luck, confidence, courage, wisdom, our quest for meaning and generosity. The
need for expansion can however lead to excess, exaggeration, over-indulgence and risk-taking, and the possibility of falling prey to illusions and squandering resources.

This is a time to ask yourself – What values and beliefs do I feel are true for me, what brings me peace, and meaning? How can I instinctively relate to what matters for me, not my family or anyone else?

Luck and growth can also occur in finances, money, pleasure, joy and relationships under the auspices of this transit, which will be in effect for the two-three days either side of the exact conjunction.
